Post your Solid State pics here

The japanese are in my opinion the elite manufacturers along with german products.

Ditto.
Part of the reason for the off-shore manufacture of JP electrolytics is legislature, Japan has rather strict rules for chemicals.
e.g. Sulphur, transport is restricted to molten only, in SS tank trucks.
Not solid/powdered, and not in trains.

The little puzzle with the horizontal oldy Matsushita cans is why the manufacture date seems to read 21Y20W.

Very Impressive :)
Thanks Mooly

Not sure I'd admit to using DTL though... showing your age and all that :D

Well, I didn't need the speed of TTL. Besides, these shiny gold plated ceramic ICs do have some distinct appeal in their own right. ;)

BTW, the counter and comparator (for the automatic seek function) are built from TTL circuits. You can't see them, as they are mounted directly under the LED display and thumb-wheel switches.

Below some pics from an amp, also built in the early seventies.

Cheers,
E.
